When Your Plumbing Cannot Wait Until Morning
A burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, a sewage backup, or a gas line leak does not wait for business hours. When a plumbing emergency strikes, you need a licensed plumber on the way as quickly as possible. Doug’s Service Company provides 24-hour emergency plumbing service to homeowners throughout Houma, Thibodaux, and the Gulf Coast area. Day or night, weekday or weekend, our technicians are dispatched to handle the problem before it causes serious damage to your home.
We arrive prepared. Our trucks are stocked with the equipment and parts needed to address the most common plumbing emergencies on the first visit so you are not waiting on parts while the problem gets worse.
Plumbing Emergencies We Respond To
Any plumbing situation that poses an immediate risk to your home, your health, or your family’s safety qualifies as an emergency. Burst pipes are one of the most urgent calls we receive. A failed supply line can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home in a very short time, damaging floors, walls, and ceilings with each passing minute. We shut off the water supply, assess the damage, and repair or replace the failed section of pipe as quickly as possible.
Sewage backups are another emergency that requires immediate professional response. When a main sewer line backs up into your home through floor drains, toilets, or tubs, the water carries pathogens that make the space unsafe until it is properly cleaned and sanitized. Our plumbers locate the blockage, clear the line, and assess whether the backup was caused by a clog, root intrusion, or a damaged section of pipe. We also respond to gas line leaks, major fixture failures, water heater failures that are causing flooding, and any situation where water is actively damaging your home.
How to Handle a Plumbing Emergency Before We Arrive
There are a few steps you can take to limit damage while our plumber is on the way. If a pipe has burst or a major leak has developed, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to the house. This valve is typically located near the water meter or at the point where the supply line enters the home. For a toilet overflow, shut off the supply valve located at the base of the toilet. For a hot water heater leak, turn off the cold water supply line to the unit. If you suspect a gas leak, do not operate any switches, appliances, or open flames. Leave the home immediately and call your gas utility before calling us so the line can be secured. Once you are safe and the immediate situation is stabilized, our emergency line is ready to take your call and get a plumber dispatched to your location.
